() The robbers mentioned by the old mayor are actually not robbers, but tax collectors in Moon City.

However, to the townspeople living in the barren mountains outside Moon City, they are absolutely out-and-out bandits.

More brutal than the most brutal robber!

These tax collectors just said what they wanted, and they had to collect as many crystal stones as they said they would, leaving no room for error.

However, these residents have no choice, because they cannot move to other places at all, let alone enter the Moon City.

If they do not meet the demands of these tax collectors, they will lose their right to live in this land, and at the same time, they will also lose the protection of Moon City.

"Didn't these tax collectors just come here last month?" Nie Feng asked. The mayor sighed,

"Who knows what they have in mind? Alas, this is simply forcing people to death." The mayor sighed heavily.

At this time, at the entrance of the town, horses were already neighing, and the firelight illuminated that area.

Over the years, the old mayor has become more and more convinced of the authenticity of his original move to take in Nie Feng. Although Nie Feng is only sixteen years old now, his strength is stronger than that of an ordinary mature man.

It is powerful and can hunt more wild beasts. It not only often helps the old mayor, but also helps some poor families in the town.

Think about it, he did this even though he had to take care of his sister.

"Nie Feng, you should think about yourself. Save enough crystal stones and go to Yulun City to take the examination as an outer disciple of the Yulun Sect. If you succeed, your identity will change drastically."

"There's no rush, just wait." Nie Feng always smiled and said this calmly.

Nie Feng and the mayor gradually approached the town entrance, his eyes narrowed,

"There seem to be more people coming today than last time!"

Nie Feng secretly calculated the number of tax collectors and found that there were twenty-six in total.

"You untouchables in Tianfeng Town! Come out of here!"

A roar full of arrogance echoed in the sky above the village. Even the howling cold wind seemed to be afraid of their power and was temporarily suppressed by the roar.

"Your Majesty the Tax Collector, I am the mayor of this town. I didn't know that you were visiting late at night, so I missed your welcome. I apologize for my sin."

The mayor greeted him with a humble look on his face.

But his smile did not elicit a friendly response from the other party.

Next to the leader of the other party, a man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks stretched his face extremely long. He picked up the riding crop at his waist and slapped the old mayor on the head with all his strength.

"As long as you admit your guilt, old man, if I don't reward you a few times, you won't remember it."

"Crack!"

The riding whip made an ear-splitting sound in the air and was thrown straight at the old mayor's head. Before he could do anything, Nie Feng stretched out his hand to protect the old mayor, turned around and blocked the man's whip with his back.

Bang!

The whip struck Nie Feng on the back, making a muffled sound, like being struck on a strong bison. Nie Feng's clothes were torn, and he felt a burning pain in his back. He held back and did not cry out. This man, he

I also know that it is Liu Neng who often comes to collect taxes.

"Damn it! You dare to hide!" Liu Neng flicked his wrist, retracted his riding whip and raised it high. At this time, he saw Nie Feng, who was protecting the old mayor, looking back and glaring at him.

This is!

Liu Neng's hand shook involuntarily. Nie Feng's angry gaze was like a wild beast in the jungle. A cold current suddenly ran through Liu Neng's heart. For a moment, he forgot about it, or in other words, he didn't dare.

He pulled the whip down again, as if he was afraid of provoking this person's counterattack.

"Master Liu, we already paid taxes last month, but for some reason we have to come here this time." Nie Feng stared at Liu Neng as he spoke.

This is an experience he has cultivated during hunting. Putting murderous intent in your eyes and staring at the opponent will form a kind of deterrence. Even the ferocious lone wolf will be more likely to face such a look.

choose to retreat.

"You paid it last month, don't you need to pay it this month? You lived here last month, so why don't you want to live here next month?" Liu Neng raised his voice and said loudly, looking arrogant.

"That's not what you said. It's just that it was a one-time affair before! It lasted for three months." Nie Feng argued with reason.

"That was before!" The leader finally spoke, "Now Moon City is under the jurisdiction of the Zhang family. I am the newly appointed tax collector Zhang Wu. I announce that starting from this month, the tax will be increased to once a month.

receive."

After saying these words, the mayor couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Oh my god, isn't this three times more than before? How can we survive?"

"I can't survive, huh, I really can't survive if I'm driven into the wilderness!" Zhang Wu said with a joking attitude in his tone, "The population is getting more and more. If you don't live there, there will be people who want to live there."

Here. Just two days ago, all the citizens of One Star Town were sent to the wasteland by us."

As soon as he said this, all the townspeople present were stunned.

In the wasteland, apart from the biting cold wind, there is a place where monster beasts gather. Any monster beast is more than ten times more powerful than the strongest beast, even the first level warrior of the Houtian realm.

They can survive, let alone ordinary people like them. But in the depths of the wasteland, not even the strongest people in Moon Wheel City dare to enter it.

Being sent to the wilderness is a death sentence for ordinary people.

Zhang Wu saw fear in the eyes of the mayor and townspeople, which was also what he expected.

"How about it, I'm willing to hand it over now!"

"Tax collector, let us prepare for a few days." Under the pressure, the mayor had no choice but to compromise. Nie Feng looked at Zhang Wu with a feeling of disgust in his heart, which reminded him of the urban management in his previous life, showing off his power, but in fact

He's just a legal robber.

"Get ready, do you mean that Mr. Zhang has the same identity as you and runs to you every day?" Liu Neng said loudly. The implication was that he would not leave today if he could not get the spar.

With no other choice, the townspeople had no choice but to piece it together, bit by bit. After a while, they finally gathered a pile of crystal stones, which the mayor handed to Liu Neng.

When the mayor handed it over, there was still a bit of cherishment on his face, but Liu Neng savagely pulled him over, almost knocking the mayor's unsteady body to the ground. Fortunately, Nie Feng's hands were quick.

, hurriedly stabilized the mayor, and he stared at Zhang Wu nervously, secretly praying that the matter would be solved, but his intuition told him that the matter would not be that simple.

"If there's nothing else, we'll go back first." The mayor bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment,"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Zhang Wu's words,

"The crystals are not enough."

The old mayor's body trembled, and he looked at Zhang Wu with a bitter look on his face, "We really can't get it together. I hope you can give me the rest for a few days. Then I will personally deliver it to the Moon City. Your Excellency, you can see if it's okay."

"

"Then there's no need," Zhang Wu said in a serious tone, "Since it's not enough, just use things to pay off the debt!"

After saying this, he waved his big hand vigorously!

Those people behind him had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhang Wu wave his hand, they immediately jumped on their horses and whipped their heads, and rushed forward.

"Master Zhang, no!"

The old mayor wanted to step forward to stop him, but the fast horse in front of him didn't seem to see it at all, and directly hit the old mayor.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Nie Feng dragged the old mayor over, and the crazy horse roared past the two of them.

"Master Zhang, let's get together again," Nie Feng raised his head and said hurriedly, "Can you please let everyone go back first?"

"It's too late!" Zhang Wu looked up and smiled, "Since you dare to bargain with me, you should pay the price once, and you will behave in the future."

Not far away, fierce horse hooves kicked into pieces one wooden door after another, and the townspeople screamed in terror. They laughed wildly, jumped from their horses to the ground, rushed into the houses, and looted items.

Fire, screams, horses roaring, and swaying figures were intertwined in the howling wind and snow, and for a time the originally peaceful village was plunged into a painful and tragic hell.

Suddenly, a sharp girl's shout rang out,

"No, grandpa, save me!"

"It's my granddaughter!" The old mayor was shocked and rushed over.

"Your granddaughter," Liu Neng stood there, holding a burning torch in one hand and grabbing a girl with the other. The ferocious smile on his face looked particularly sinister under the light of the fire, and there was a cold tone in his tone.

Excited, he licked the outside of his lips with his tongue, "You look good, or a chick? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let her experience what it's like to be a woman for free!"

"No!" The mayor rushed forward, but was quickly caught by the two men.

"You two, stop him! Press him to the ground and let him watch how gently I treat his granddaughter." Liu Neng smiled evilly, "I'm afraid that after a while, she will...

It’s so exciting that I don’t want to stop!”

The mayor burst into tears and his body was shaking but powerless.

The two people holding the mayor down smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you drink the soup, and she won't want to stop for a while. Our brothers will also have a good time."

"Okay, no problem!" Liu Neng said happily.

"Please, don't do this, she is only fourteen years old!" The mayor could only turn his head, and he chewed his head like garlic, causing blood to flow all over the floor.

Seeing the mayor, who was old enough to be his grandfather, being so humiliated, Nie Feng could no longer bear it.

There is no need to endure it anymore!

He waved his hand, and the long sword in his hand shook forward. In the blink of an eye, there were two miserable screams, and the two men who grabbed the mayor were injured and let go.

"Someone actually resisted!"
